Quickly and almost imperceptibly, seven months of
2014 have gone by and have brought us great news
about our level of national market share of passenger
transportation, as the first seven months of this year
have yielded sustained growth in our volume of
passengers transported versus the same time in 2013.

It is clear that this sustained growth would not be
possible without your preference in choosing our
airline for travel. So we want to thank you for this
support, work that we do with great dedication and love
all the areas that make it possible to provide a good
alternative when choosing carriers.
We also inform you, that we continue working to
improve our levels of connectivity negotiating interline
agreements with other airlines in the region and
the world, which allows us to offer a wider range of
destinations. Soon we will give news of them.
Thank you for your confidence.

How did you get started in sports? As a kid did you have
a passion for sports? From an early age I became passionate for
sports, particularly football. I played, saw, heard and read. I started
in sports journalism in ‘92 practicing in the radio program The Sun
run byMicky Rospigliosi. On TV, it was on channel 93, the program
was called Ovation.

How does it feel to be our representative of Peru at the
World Cup? It is a big responsibility, pride and always professional
aspiration. Whenever the need is greater now by the requirement
q implies the existence of social networks. It is also particularly
exciting lead vocals and lead transmissions for the entire country of
high magnitude events like these.

Which impressed you in this World Cup in Brazil? Anything
in particular you found amazing? The very competitiveness from
every continent, the major parties, and the many figures highlighted
(including great goalies), scenarios and it certainly struck me how the
“Maracana” was diluted in history. That defeat in the seventh against
Germany buried an episode and established a new, even more dramatic
for the Brazilians.
Do you have a story about your experiences in this world?
Having had my son with me was a great experience. He was
credited and helped me in my work plus q was a great emotional
support especially when one has q away from the family in such
transmissions. He was also pleased to reconnect with friends farming
q one goes in time. I was able to reconnect for example, Argentine
journalist Juan Carlos Passman, who had not seen since France 98.
Were you alone or together with the world? As I explained
before I accompanied my 13 year old son Kevin was a wonderful
experience and shared it as magical experience.
Who do you consider has been the best Peruvian soccer
player? Why? At the level of the most important of all was Teofilo
Cubillas selection for his 3 World Cup and 10 goals scored. At club
level definitely Pizarro has made the most outstanding career. It is
in this sense and ability, individual and collective achievements and
effective at the highest level, best of all Peruvian footballers in history.

In your home do you talk much about football with your
kids? With my son Kevin yes, with my two daughters, only when
the World Cup plays.
What do you think of Peruvian athletes? How do you
see their future? On the mend but still far from the highest in
competence. In our country, the state has never taken responsibility
for the sport image. No definite policy, no mass yet, there are no
incentives for private investment, no policy and avoiding college is
the “graveyard” for athletes. Plenty to do and hopefully the 2019 Pan
American in Lima serve as motivation for the state to finally take
responsibility in this matter.
If you could have coffee with 2 athletes who ever lived,
who would they be and why? There are many athletes with
whom I would like to share a coffee and chat. I could not name just
two but will mention some which would be my preference: American
athlete Jesse Owens for his brilliant Olympic performance in Berlin
36; Nadia Comaneci, the Romanian gymnast fantastic Montreal 76;
Michael Jordan who is considered the best basketball player in
history; the great Russian pole vaulter Yelena Isinbayeva and clearly
players like Messi, Ronaldinho Gaucho and coach Guardiola, a
revolutionary.
You’re very charismatic and people love watching you on
TV. Are you shy? Yes, my nature is rather shy; but the training,
the time at university, the first radio experience I was dropping. Now,
after 22 year career in radio and TV feel absolute ease and serenity
but outside the media, I am a shy person.
You make your work seem so easy, but the reality is it must
be very difficult. How do you prepare? Being reported on every
day, all day. I have a passion since childhood for a great deal of
knowledge and information about sports subjects, but football and
sport evolution, are embedded in an increasingly dynamic world. So
I always try to be informed and in all subjects.

I took a taxi at 5:47 am, the Google Now application had told me
from my smartphone to leave my house at that time and it would
take me 23 minutes to get to the airport and one hour before taking
off on my flight. I’m not sure how they do it but it turned out well. I
arrived at Jorge Chavez Airport, still nighttime, I passed the check
point controls and waited sitting in the departure lounge until they
called us to board. The plane took off and quickly rose above the
eternal cloud layer covering Lima discovering a sunny winter
morning in the air. I looked out the window and I could see the sea

of clouds bursting in the foothills of the Andes. The aircraft crossed
the mountains from west to east and turned to port to the northern
jungle enroute, revealing the imposing left Yerupajá, the second
highest mountain in Peru, and then the whole Cordillera Blanca. We
landed at Cadete FAP Guillermo del Castillo Paredes Airport, at the
scheduled time. I stayed at the Boca Raton hotel in the heart of the
city and the only one with an elevator in the whole province. I spent
the morning walking around the city, which I always do when arriving
at a new city, so I get a better feel of the place while getting to know
it better, walking the streets, listening to the accent, breathing its air,
watching its people. So I arrived at the local market, ideal for contact
with the heart of every town site. I got lost in its many corridors, I saw
the typical fruits of the area and sat on a local stand to have a cocona
juice while viewing a game from the world cup on TV. Tarapoto is a
vibrant, hot city, where the economic movement of the San Martín
region breathes.Streets full of “Motokares” and bikes and walking the
streets is fun for the eye and ear. For lunch I could not pass up going
to any of the classic local food restaurants, where dishes are typical
of the Amazon. A delight of exotic flavors. At three in the afternoon I
went to check in at the hotel, Martin Zamora, the tour operator, one

of the best agencies Tarapoto has to offer, and after visiting three
other hotels picking up other passengers, we went north towards the
town of Lamas. Within half an hour of leaving the city center we got
to Lamas, “the city of the three-stories” as christened by Antonio
Raimondi. The so called term because of its location on the side
of a mountain and having three distinct sectors from top to bottom.
Lamas, Quechua-speaking city, is an Andean rarity surrounded by
jungle. The origins of its inhabitants back to a migration of a group
of chankas area of the central highlands after being conquered by the
Inca army. Their customs and folklore are its greatest asset and its
greatest pride. We had the opportunity to meet some of their dances
and their stories when we visited the lower area of the city, the oldest
where the descendants of the original settlers still live. It is curious
to find highland village characteristics, Quechua and architecture in
a completely Amazon setting. But perhaps most striking about this
town full of contrasts and surprises is El Castillo. In the highest
part of the city built on bedrock, looking over the valley of the Mayo
River, like the Rhine Valley, an imposing medieval castle was raised.
Construction replica castles of his native Italy, has turrets, walls,

bridges and everything any fairytale castle boasts having. The visit is
mandatory, and really leaves visitors speechless. The next morning,
after breakfast and preparing my bag for the tour, I embarked with
fellow travelers in the mobility of the agency. Our guide this time was
Julio, we were exploring the route of the legendary Marginal Jungle
Highway, now called Architect Fernando Belaunde road, pathway that
runs along most of the northern forest. The scenery is breathtaking,
a beauty. Our course to the south, led us through bridges crossing
the river May, snuff and fruit crops, crossing a pass and arriving at
Huallaga river valley. Down the mountain we got to take a detour
that took us through a dirt road to Puerto Lopez. This pier on a raft
Huallaga motor used to carry passengers and vehicles on the other
side of the river still operates. We boarded the boat and the rider
drove to the right bank, which went back up to our van to continue
the route to El Sauce. We take the road that zigzags up the side of
a hill, revealing a majestic view of the valley. At the highest point
there is a viewpoint that welcomes us to the district and Sauce is
mandatory stop for views of the beautiful landscape and selfies of

rigor. The trail continues between trees passing by gorges until it
reaches its destination, the beautiful Blue Lagoon. This road runs
along the lake and through the village of El Sauce, continue until
you reach the Angaíza farm. At the farm, located on the lake, we
were greeted with tasty liquor “uvachado”, one of the typical shots
of the area and we were directed to walk to the dock to board the
boat. We went to this and Kevin, our host and operator of the boat
is put the engine controls, taking us on the lake, in a relaxing and
highly recommended tour. The guide was commenting about the
stories of the place, legends, and the different species of flora and
fauna. Thus we heard the stories of mermaids, giant snakes and
dolphins that become human to take the unwary. On the banks of
the Blue Lagoon, very nice lodgings are available, where tasty food,
relaxation and contact with nature is provided. Back at the farm we
had the opportunity to enjoy a picnic lunch in the dining room. After
a refreshing dip in the lake and a refreshing nap in a hammock, on
the way back, as we heard on the radio match details for the World
Cup between the U.S. and Ghana we relaxed. The next day we visited

Preparation:
Dams parboiled chicken in a pot. Then, peanuts and ground
corn (dissolved in cold water) is added, and beat until mixture
make one. If too thick, add a little water. In a separate pan, the
“mishquina”, garlic and onion to add to the frying pan. Then,
salt, cumin and oregano to taste is added, a little pepper if
desired. Whisk the soup constantly, to prevent boiling over.
Serve in bowls with rice and plantains.

When you think of the Amazon scenes come to mind such as rivers,
trees, wild animals, exotic plants, native communities and even
bustling and vibrant cities. But never do we associate it with the
European Middle Ages. For precisely the surprise any visitor to Lamas
takes after encountering this medieval castle in the Peruvian jungle is
significant. The Castle, built by an Italian businessman based long ago
in San Martin, is a magnificent building made of local stone and built
on bedrock. With passages, towers, battlements and ramparts it is an
attractive surreal experience that should not be missed.

A few minutes from the city of Tarapoto, in the district of Shilcayo,
you encounter this natural wonder: Ahuashiyacu Falls. Imperative
to take a dip, the pool that forms from the waterfall reaches are
three feet deep of pristine and clear waters. A gauge of just over
300 meters, which can be covered in ten minutes, leads us to the
waterfall. The place has changers, bathrooms and even a kiosk
where you can eat and have a typical drink. The spectacular
waterfall in the middle of the Escalera Range is also a natural
paradise of plants such as orchids, ferns and big trees of the high
forest. In regards to wildlife, abundant colorful butterflies, frogs
and typical jungle like species such as the toucan, the eaglet,
different types of hummingbirds and the famous cock of the rock,
Peru’s national bird. So, when you visit Tarapoto, the city of palm
trees, do not forget to bring a towel and bathing suit and go to this
attractive beautiful Peruvian jungle. You will not regret it.

LOCATION
The department of Lima is located in the central and western section of
Perú. To the west is the Pacific Ocean and the east borders the Andes. It has
an area of 33,820 km2 and a population of over 8 million people, almost a
third of all the inhabitants of Peru.

HISTORY
Lima was founded in 1535 and quickly became the most important city in
America. Today it has more than 8 million people and welcomes immigrants
from all over the world, which has become a multi ethnic city of excellence.
In the historic center, declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, you can
visit splendid samples of Colonial architecture such as the Cathedral, the
Santo Domingo Convent, and the Convent of San Francisco which houses
beautiful carved wooden balconies.

LOCATION
The city is about one and a half hours from Lima and is located at an altitude
of 2,328 metres, the lowest part of the city lies at an altitude of 2,041 metres
in the area called the Huayco Uchumayo District and the highest is located
at 2,810 metres. The central part of the city is crossed by the River Chili
from north to south in a valley called the Valley of Arequipa or the Valley of
Chili. To the north and east of Arequipa are the Andes Mountains while to
the south and west are intermediate mountain highlands.

HISTORY
Known as the White City for its beautiful white walls of ashlar, a volcanic
stone, Arequipa lies at the feet of the mighty Chachani volcano and snowy
Misti and Pichu Pichu volcanos. The city center, declared a World Heritage
Site by UNESCO in 2000, houses temples and colonial baroque styles
architecture, as well as the Monastery of Santa Catalina, a Spanish city in
miniature with stone streets, beautiful courtyards and plazas.

LOCATION
Located in southeastern Peru, by the eastern slope of the Andes and the
Huatanay River Basin, a tributary of the Vilcanota. It is the capital of the
department of Cusco and was also declared in the Peruvian constitution as
the historical capital of the country.

HISTORY
Cusco was formerly the capital of the Inca Empire and one of the most
important cities of the Viceroyalty of Peru. Declared a World Heritage Site in
1983 by UNESCO, it is often called, due to the large number of monuments
which it has, as the “Rome of America” and currently is the largest tourist
destination in Peru, with an annual influx of over one million visitors.

HISTORY
Tacna was formerly inhabited by Aymara populations, which traded diverse
coastal products such as pepper, fish and shellfish. Upon arrival of the
Spanish in the sixteenth century, the cultivation of the vine spread, and
now you can visit the vineyards, which produce excellent wines and Pisco.
Tacna preserves its typical houses with slanted roofs, avenues, parks,
monuments, busts and other reminders of Peruvian heroes who fought in
the war of independence (1821-1824) and the Pacific War (1879 -1883).
The city of Tacna received the title of “Heroic City” in 1828. The attractive
Miculla are petro glyphs (about 500), which have been carved in bas-relief
on the rocks in the area and are estimated to be about 1500 years old.

LOCATION
The department of Piura is located in the north of the country, comprising
the coast, highlands and jungle. To the north are Tumbes and Ecuador;
south is Lambayeque, Cajamarca to the east and the Pacific Ocean to
the west.

HISTORY
Piura was founded by Francisco Pizarro in 1532. Now it has transformed into
a major economic center in the north of the country. 12 km from the city is
Catacaos, famous for its handicrafts, objects in gold and silver filigree and
exquisite restaurants. The people of Chulucanas are famous for their pottery.
The coast of Piura offers a varied and attractive circuit. Mancora, close to the
border with the department of Tumbes, is a small cove with beautiful beaches
prized by surfers, fun loving youths and families. To the south is “Cabo
Blanco/White Cape”, which became famous thanks to Ernest Hemingway,
who was attracted by ocean fishing for marlin, swordfish.

HISTORY
The area was formerly populated by different groups such as Cocama
Huitoto, and Bora. The Jesuit missionaries founded the city. It was in the
late nineteenth century when Iquitos experienced its peak with rubber
tapping. The economic boom resulted in luxurious buildings such as
the Palace Hotel Art Nouveau style and the Iron House, designed by the
famous French architect Gustave Eiffel. Homes in the Belen neighborhood
are built on rafts and piles to protect against high water tides. One of the
top attractions is to navigate rivers and lakes. The Pacaya-Samiria National
Reserve (2,080,000 ha), the largest in the country, is located 183 km from
the city and is home to numerous species of animals and plants, many of
them endangered like the Charapa Tortoise, the giant river otter, the black
caiman and the river dolphin. On the other hand, the Allpahuayo Mishana
(58,000 hectares) protects the largest concentration of white sand forests
or “varillales” known in the Peruvian Amazon. This is one of the best places
for bird watching.

LOCATION
Tarapoto, known as the “City of Palms”, is a thriving commercial hub in
northern Peru, an hour by plane from Lima, situated in the San Martín
Province of the San Martín Region, located in the high jungle plateau to the
east of what is known as the selva baja (low jungle). Although Moyobamba
is the capital of the region, Tarapoto is the region’s largest city, and is
linked to the Upper Amazon and the historic city of Yurimaguas by a
relatively well-maintained newly paved (2008–2009) transandean highway.

HISTORY
Tarapoto was founded August 20, 1782 by the Spanish bishop Baltazar
Jaime Martínez de Compagnon y Bujanda. Its beginnings date back to
the explorations of the Pocras and Chancas (old cultures of the Ayacucho
region) who, when being conquered by the Inca Empire, headed a revolution
led by the commander Ancohallo; a revolt that, when defeated, forced their
tribal members to escape from terrible Inca vengeance. Eventually settling
down in the valleys of the Mayo and Cumbaza rivers in what is now the San
Martin department. Founded September 14, 1906, Tarapoto is the main
tourist and commercial hub of this part of northeastern Peru.

HISTORY
Pucallpa has recently been characterized by a rapid and very simple growth.
Before the colonization of America, the whole jungle was inhabited by
various groups of natives. Pucallpa originated in the central jungle where
the Shipibo-Konibo tribe existed, one of the many indigenous groups of
eastern Peru. The first trips there were performed by priests belonging to
the Catholic Church. Eventually the Age of Rubber finally arrived and with
it, the foundation of Pucallpa on October 13, 1888.

The city of La Paz sits on the banks of the Choqueyapu River, which crosses
from north to south, and small rivers originating in the high slopes and
deposit their waters along the path of the river which flows into northern
Bolivia. In the Cordillera Real (east of the city) is the Illimani (6465 m),
whose silhouette is the emblem of the city from its foundation.
